Yes, the reason is very simple: The whole FTP tree does not fit onto a
DVD image.

Everything that in the FTP inst_source, but not on the DVD.

Ask somewhone with internet access to download the "whole" FTP
inst_source (i586, i686, x86_64 and noarch only, of course, and not
"everything"), copy it onto your harddisk, run "createrepo" on it and
use that as YaST source.
